No they are all different IPs. Looks like a teenager playing a prank. I wonder where he's getting the email addresses from.

It might be different, but apparently there are ways in which you can generate email addresses en masse for the purpose of flooding someones inbox. My friend did this as revenge from someone who hacked her steam account and spent a bunch of money on her debit card. If there all coming from the same domain, perhaps put a blockade on that domain for registration for a few days to make him get bored and forget?

They are all different domains too. It seems like the email addresses and passwords were harvested somewhere - like a typical spammer. The difference is they haven't been used before in another spam campaign or the anti-spam software would catch them.

Oy vey. Really sorry that you have to deal with this. That really sucks and it doesn't look like there is an easy way to fix it sans turning off registration all together for a week, or having to manually approve every single account as it's registered.

@highlander, actually potential idea. Turn off registration, and on the registration page make a note saying "due to a spamming attack, we have chosen to turn off registration for a period of time. If you would still like to register, please email us at X and we can set up an account internally. We apologize for the inconvinence. "

This would stop the spammer, and would still let people in. After doing this for a week the spammer will likely have given up.

That's an idea. Maybe will try it if the current course of action doesn't work.
